Why are companies migrating from WordPress to Webflow?
Lack of design freedom. While Webflow allows you to design even the tiniest element on a site, WordPress can be restrictive when it comes to this. It doesn’t let you implement certain designs and functionalities.
Buggy code in WordPress. WordPress offers a wide variety of themes that serve as the foundation of your site. However, using a WordPress theme can make the underlying code very buggy, making your site slower.
Heavy software updates. WordPress as a software and the plugins you are using need constant updates to keep working, so combining the two in a single website is extremely fragile, increasing chances of malfunction.
You are glued to using a theme. If you don't know how to code, you will be stuck using one of the available WordPress themes and every single one of them has some limitations. Learning how to code is the only way.
What makes Webflow the obvious choice for websites?
Webflow is fully customizable, letting you build unique and responsive websites tailored to your brand. What Webflow offers are features like flexibility in design, layout, colors, typography and custom animations.
Webflow's priority is SEO by writing clean code and providing tools for adding meta tags, XML sitemaps and 301 redirects, including the fact that their hosting and security infrastructure is super fast and reliable.
Managing your Webflow site is easy. Any changes you make are automatically applied to the live version. You can also monitor your website performance and real time audience with in-depth analytics software.
World-leading startups like Jasper AI use Webflow to launch marketing campaigns faster without having to rely on developers all the time. All parts of Webflow are user-friendly, allowing you full control without coding.
Why is Webflow used by most high traffic websites?
Webflow CMS. Webflow provides a visual-first CMS for non-technical teams to easily manage their content, while WordPress offers an open-source CMS that relies on plugins and constant developer support.
Security features. WordPress is heavily customizable because of third-party plugins and open code, but that is also a security risk, while Webflow prevents that with 2FA, SSL certificates and SOC2 security protocols.
99,9% uptime. Webflow's hosting seems to be flawless as they ensure almost perfect website uptime scores. As a website owner, you want reliable hosting service instead of constant fluctuations on other platforms.
Easy scalability. Webflow powers ~1% of the internet according to W3Techs, but it leads the way in hosting high traffic websites. This data confirms that scaling your website in Webflow is very easy and convenient.
What they say about us
I'm impressed with the quality of their design work and their quick turnaround time. I loved their portfolio of work and related B2B SaaS companies. The unlimited revisions and cancel-anytime subscription model were perfect for our needs, but I don't see us canceling anytime soon :-)
Flowout has been an invaluable resource to me and my clients. I run an independent design firm and have struggled to find high quality webflow development resources for the past few years. The team at Flowout consistently delivers fantastic quality Webflow development and design work. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had collaborating with Webflow developers and designers.
We worked with the Flowout team on a new site build. It went exceptionally well. Communication was clear and professional at every step. The team went above and beyond with the delivery. Such a good feeling to work with professionals on important projects. We will definitely work with them again.
Spectacular results! This team listens and executes. Very professional and the best, high-quality team on the technical side, I have ever experienced in Webflow.
They understand ideas easily and not only they would implement as we want, but they would also oversee some aspects that we sometimes missed and would offer solutions right away. Flowout is perfect because they're not only experts but they are also amazingly fast in delivering the results.
They were extremely responsive and listened closely to our needs and guidelines in order to execute our vision. They also did a fantastic job with the designs and implementation, they know their stuff and created a really beautiful site that made our vision into a reality. I highly recommend them!
Their attention to detail and quick problem-solving skills are the two skills I was not getting from other contractors. Flowout team could think ahead on what we (the website keepers) need to maintain and grow the website. I will do another website with Flowout's team anytime.
We've been working with Flowout for a while now and couldn't be happier. Their approach is professional, response time is fast and the overall delivery is awesome. Highly recommend!
Excellent communication even with the added time zone challenge! Our projects were done efficiently and always looked great, minimal changes needed. Love them.

(and whom not)
Flowout is a good fit if:

Your WordPress website and all of its content are ready to be migrated to Webflow instantly.
You care about giving your users a proper experience when they visit your website.
You need a quick turnaround with migrating your website from WordPress to Webflow.
You want to know exactly what is happening with your site and how much you are paying.
Flowout is not a good fit if:
You prefer trying it on your own, possibly not doing it properly, thus breaking your website.
You are not ready to move your WordPress website and its content to Webflow yet.
Quality is not that important to you and you prefer cheapness over excellent results.
You're OK with waiting for weeks before your freelance web developer finishes the project.
Constant pricing changes and not knowing what is happening doesn't bother you at all.

Frequently asked questions
The key difference between WordPress and Webflow is that WordPress is an open-source CMS and requires you to have your own hosting server, while Webflow is a visual no-code website builder that includes everything needed for publishing and maintaining a website.
You can communicate with us via our internal dashboard, Slack or email, combined with Loom videos for async video updates or Zoom/Google Meet for meetings and calls when necessary as part of the retainer program. If you go with our pay as you go plans, the communication is the same, excluding updates via Slack.
There is no universal answer to knowing how long it will take to migrate your WordPress site to Webflow. It depends on your requirements, complexity and size of the website. But we can assure you to deliver the first draft of your Webflow website in a maximum of 3 business days.
